Man Decapitated After Secretly Trying to Smoke a Cigarette on Tube Train

London, UK:

A 52-year-old man was decapitated after being dragged underneath a Tube train which he had fallen out of while smoking a cigarette.

The commuter is believed to have forced open the emergency exit doors between carriages on a late-night Metropolitan Line Tube train and fallen between the gap.

The incident occured between Chorleywood, Herts, and Chesham, Bucks.

Police said that after tumbling onto the track, he was dragged along at 50mph, at which some point his head was severed from his body.

His death is being treated as a bizarre accident, rather than suspicious.

A rail worker who was on the Tube train when the man fell, told the Daily Mail: 'A passenger who was smoking between the carriages on the train slipped and fell onto the tracks while the train was moving at 50mph.

'He was subsequently dragged to Chalfont and Latimer and decapitated.

'This just shows how dangerous messing around between the carriages really is.

'If you ever think it might be a bit of fun, or if you need a cigarette, please think again.

'Had this guy waited 10 more minutes he'd still have been with us now and nobody would have had to suffer the awful consequences of his stupidity.'
